Hello! I’m Jessica. I live in Arizona with my wonderful husband and two awesome little boys. I learned to crochet and knit at a young age from my grammy. I pick it up again as an adult in late 2014 when I decided to crochet a hat for a gift exchange. This led to a blanket, then a baby blanket, then a knit stocking and after that I just kept crocheting and knitting more things. I like to create things and enjoy seeing a project come together into a finished piece.

Before I had kids, I worked as an engineer. Designing patterns fulfills my desire for technical creation. I like the challenge of iterating and refining a design. When I get stuck, it is helpful for me to write out requirements to focus on what I am trying to achieve with the design. I find it satisfying to get out a scale and spreadsheets and make calculations. Writing the patterns is a bit like programing and changes the idea from a prototype that only I made into something others can make too. Seeing what other people have made using my patterns brings me great joy.
